No :).
I had to look him up, and I see he made an Anti-American film about slavery, starring Danny Glover. So... definitely no.
I was only kidding... I am not a dipper, but was always curious why it was called "Copenhagen".
He's a major league a-hole, alright. His entire repetoire consists of ugly portrayals of sexuality and violence with an anti-American angle. In other words, an "important," "avant garde," and "controversial" body of work. There are probably a few FR threads out there about this guy.
John the Baptist impersonator
Presbyterian couple
I agree! I'm going to get me a big helpin' of bacon or a maybe a nice picnic ham and PO the jihadis, PETA, and Robert F Kennedy Jr at the same time.
Pork: It's God's favorite meat. Especially pork rinds.
Even better -- good on both of 'em.
Great home page you've got there, BTW.
Denmark has troops in Iraq. (and Afghanistan, IIRC). Plus, the Danish government has defended the right of free speech in the face of this intimidation. A few other Euros, such as the Dutch and Poles, seem to get it as well.
I'm going to declare my Lhasa Apso an honorary Great Dane and rent Mel Gibson's "Hamlet".
Probably, right? Crud. Well I can buy them for us, anyway.
Presbyterian couple
Don't you rather mean Episcopalians???
Ugh. The exact kind of filmmaker I avoid.
Thank you! :)
LOL Yikes! Well then that definitely rules me out of buying Elephant Beer. I am the lightest of lightweights, and drink very rarely. I don't want to end up in a simulated coma to enjoy a drink.
I thinks its owned and sold by U.S. Tobacco in Greenwich Ct.
I innocentlly sent 6 giant boxes of Danish-made Legos over to Iraq for my son's Christmas party for Iraqi kids!!!! Too Funny.
I own two pairs of Ecco shoes and they the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They look great and wear well.
Highly recommend.
